Tottenham Hotspur have suffered another injury setback ahead of their Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Destiny Udogie emerging as a doubt for the trip, as reported by The Sun.
The Italian full-back featured in Spurs’ 2-2 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last weekend but was substituted in the 76th minute. Having only just returned from a hamstring issue, Udogie had started both matches under new manager Roberto De Zerbi.
However, the extent of his latest injury concern remains unclear, and he is now unlikely to be part of the squad travelling to Molineux on Saturday.
Udogie, 23, has made 24 appearances in all competitions this season, and his availability for the upcoming fixture against Aston Villa is also uncertain.
Spurs still have key matches remaining against Leeds United, Chelsea, and Everton, making Udogie’s fitness an important factor in their run-in.
There was a more positive note regarding James Maddison, who returned to the bench against Brighton after a lengthy spell out with a pre-season injury. Although he did not warm up during the match, he could be in contention to feature against Wolves, offering a timely boost.
Tottenham currently sit 18th in the Premier League table with five games left to play, just two points adrift of safety. A victory against Wolves would be crucial, and they will also be hoping that 17th-placed West Ham United drop points in their clash with Everton.
